With Featherweight champion, Conor McGregor, too cool for the 145-pound division, top-ranked contenders Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar ran it back tonight (Sat., July 9, 2016) for the interim title at UFC 200, which took place inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Aldo won their first encounter via unanimous decision at UFC 156 back in Feb. 2013. Fast forward three years later and it was more of the same.
Edgar, typically, came out for the first round bobbing and weaving, circling and looking for an opportunity to get going early. He pressed forward with a combination, but Aldo adeptly avoided contact and circled away from danger.
